In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you
There's just a supercut

In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
I'm someone you maybe might love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch

But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us

So I fall
Into continents and cars
All the stages and the stars
I turn all of it
To just a supercut

'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh

In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
Slow motion, I'm watching our love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch

But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us

'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
(When you call I'll forgive and not fight)
(All the moments I play in the dark)
(Wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart)

'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart

'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart

(In my head, I do everything right)
(In my head, I do everything right)

    The lyrics "But when I reach for you, there's just the supercut" are the most painful lyrics in this song, perhaps even the entire Melodrama album. She wants to reach out to her ex-lover like before, but all she has now are the pixelated memories from videos and images replaying in a loop, in her mind. It's the hardest part about lost love. Even when they are gone, the thoughts of better times linger for ever. Hence the "super cut". An endless flash of images in your head, that can't be erased or diluted, but are not tangible, even though we just want to reach in there and grab them. To hold on for dear life.
